NBA: Stephen Curry hits 12 three-pointers for Golden State Warriors in season’s best display against Orlando Magic
Stephen Curry hit 12 3-pointers for the third time in a game as Golden State defeated the Orlando Magic 121-115.

“I think the fans tonight, even Magic fans, know they’re witnessing the greatest shooter of all time, and one of the best shooters of all time,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said.
“It’s not just shooting, it’s just the fluidity of his movements and movements, the beauty and the footage he’s willing to shoot.
“He was an incredible show and he had a show tonight.”
Curry’s career-high single-game score was in the 2021 Portland Trail Trail Trail Trail Trail Trail when he scored 62 points.
He has made 12 or more three-pointers in three games in his career, and in 2016 he has 13 games against the New Orleans Pelicans.
